Ruby in the Making

5th Amendment

"1 2 3 4 FIF!"-Dave Chappelle

I am practicing the 5th Amendment because i have found that it fits into the "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say nothing at all concept". God is testing me not to become the bitter black woman that I was last summer. Because like Linken Park said in one of my favorite songs "In the End it doesn't even matter". I like to rant but i have to constantly remind myself that it is what it is: GOD HAS SPOKEN AND I NEED TO LISTEN. No regrets, or 2nd thoughts because everything happens for a reason.

Also In Ebony''s latest issue, they had a section about soft addictions. Here's a definition from Judith Wright: "Soft Addictions are seemingly harmless habits that rob us of our time, zap our energy, numb us from our feelings, mute our consciousness and keep us from living the satisfying, meaningful lives we desire". www.softaddictions.com/quiz.php When I took the soft addictions test i got to the stage where I have the potential to have a a soft addiction and I could think about was Facebook. Joking with a friend one day I said Facebook can ruin lives. Its unfortunate that nowadays we take things on the internet so personally because we have personalized social websites so much. So this is why I'm going to try to only get on facebook like only a few times a week because i need to ween myself of this soft addiction before it gets worse.

In the mean time I guess I'll be reading and writing my thoughts (shout outs to my friends Nersh & Sedale for encouraging me to keep it up),catching up on movies( shout out to Bon Air library's new DVD section), making my mark with this internship, getting my health back on track, and making sure I'm mentally and physically prepared when I go back to school. As long as i focus on these things while pleading the 5th I should be fine.
